Book excerpt: Black Mirror meets Bridget Jones in this whip-smart debut set in a world where the ultimate matchmaking app has redefined romance. Twenty-nine-year-old Anna is smart, vivacious, and in the midst of a complete existential meltdown. Sure, from the outside everything in her life seems to be going just fine: She has a decent job, a devoted BFF, and a lovely boyfriend named Pete with whom she is exactly 70% compatible, according to Kismet, the matchmaking app that everyone in Anna's world uses to find love. Still...isn't there supposed to be more to life than this? Should she settle for a secure and predictable existence with Pete, or risk everything for a life of passion and adventure? With true adulthood (the dreaded thirty) just weeks away, Anna secretly re-joins Kismet, and soon encounters Geoff, a dashing, forty-something journalist with whom she has a shockingly high compatibility score of 81. How can she not at least see where this goes...? A funny and propulsive love story for our over-networked age, KISMET challenges us to take stock of how technology shapes our desires and what it means to "settle."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kismet fate – destiny the illusive puppeteer that manipulates the strings. It is 1997, and three years since apartheid was dismantled. A New South Africa has emerged, victorious. Opportunities abound and hope transcends, but for some the warped ideology of that era still lingers. Doctor Henry Keyler a TV panellist, is intent on promoting unity across the racial divides. Attractive and alluring, his co-panellist, attorney Lexie Lewin, has become a voice for abused women. For the most part, her marriage to the charismatic Steve and their charmed life in Kismet Manor is more than she’d dared to envisage. After a series of jarring events, however, she begins to question whether she’s been living in delusional contentment. Kate Mabusa, a black maid, has truly and utterly loved a white man and borne his child, yet she never speaks about him – not even to her daughter – not even now that the laws have changed and love across the colour barrier is no longer a crime. As events unravel, two estranged souls rekindle a beautiful and powerful love. Inextricably linked; a murder and trial rattle the lives of Kismet’s characters, and through their intersecting journeys we learn that if we let it, our past can debilitate us, or inspire us to greater heights.
